Your inventory is not cheap. From the initial purchase from your suppliers to the carrying costs involved in storing and processing each item in the warehouse, the costs associated with inventory management add up quick.If left unchecked, the costs can spiral out of control and steal away your company’s profit before you even get a chance see the money filter into the business.
Many manufacturers and distributors recognize the need to realign their inventory management efforts, yet many do not know where to start. The pressure from consumers for companies to have all of their products readily in stock is overwhelming and leading many companies to invest more in inventory than they need. While they cannot just stop stocking products altogether, manufacturers and distributors can find ways to stock inventory smarter.
